Nothing special

As a round-up of my winter GMS season I had a grand total of 4 Chestnuts. That is all. Last year, I had 9 moths all winter, which I thought was poor. Oh very dear.

Last night, I put the trap out in the garden on the promise of a mild night, even running the MV for a bit, but all I caught was 2 Tortricodes alternella and a Brown House Moth. I think the wind didn't help...

I've also been looking at security lights at my favourite local woodland park, which have been managing to attract a few Dotted Borders, with last Tuesday peaking at 4, plus a brace of Spring Ushers.
